IGP sues for peace over death of Plateau Monarch

… Orders DIG operations to bring killers to Book

The Inspector-General of Police, Ag.IGP Ibrahim Idris has directed the Deputy-Inspector-General of Police in
charge operations, DIG Joshack Habilla to proceed to Plateau State with
immediate effect to ensure the arrest of the killers of Chief Lazarus Agaie,
the traditional ruler of Bokkos, who was murdered on his way from a farm
alongside his wife, son and Police orderly.

IGP Idris said those behind the gruesome murder of the
monarch will be fished out in record time for prosecution, saying, this is why
the Deputy Inspector-General of Police is sent to Plateau State. He further
said it was pathetic to see the life of any Nigerian, irrespective of his or
her status snuffed out by any criminal gang in whatever name.

The Inspector-General of Police said the death of the
monarch, his family and orderly were particularly painful, but more painful
when we take to reprisal attacks; he therefore advised the aggrieved to be
patients with the Police in their investigation into the murder of the
monarch.

IGP Ibrahim Idris said the Nigeria Police will leave no
stone unturned in arresting the culprits, but need the collaboration of
everyone with useful information, without over heating the already tensed
insecurity challenges the country is going through. He assured Nigerians that
the Nigeria Police under his watch will ensure decency in the polity.
